1. Bomber Jackets:
So I may finally have to ditch my trusty blazer in 2013. This slouchier look is going to be key to every kind of look this season. I am in love with this Three Floor version. It has everything you could want in a classical bomber that still brings style. Leather look sleeve, metalic and embroidery. Love it!

2. Wrist Swag:
It is still all about some wrist candy. I adore a good gold watch, I wear mine everyday! If you are looking for something classical, look no further than Michael Kors. For something different, I am in love with this Daisy Knights Watch. Swag!

3. Stripes:
This nautical beauty is back with a bang. It has been sent down the runways of Marc Jacobs, Paul Smith and Jonathan Saunders but to name a few. In regards to stripes, any direction goes! I love them and think they add fun to any outfit. Pair a stripped top with denims or a skirt and cons.

4. Sunnies:
Of course sunglasses are a staple in any wardrobe, any time of the year. The sunnies that you should be coveting in 2013 should have attitude! I am talking jewels, printed, oversized......STATEMENT!

5. Flats
Ok so I love my heels, however I am loving the fact that flats are bang on trend. What is not to love about comfort?! Practical does not mean boring. Look for something chic and classical. Brogues were spotted on Victoria Beckham recently, SHOCK! If she can embrace the flat, then so can I!

Ohhhh I am so excited to finally share my new blog layout with you guys! I have wanted this for so long and I think it looks pretty cool. What do you guys think? Hopefully it will just add a little umph to your regular read!

For several seasons now the fur vest has been a staple in successfully keeping out the winter cold. You can layer items underneath to keep extra snug. This winter the fur vest is back with a bang! There are many colours on the high street at the mo, from black to winter white! I love a brown toned one, I snapped one up in Bershka for a steal. Try Topshop or Asos for some alternatives! I will be pairing mine with leather look leggings and a cosy knit this Christmas.

The bowler hat trend has been on my radar for a while, but I have always been too chicken to pop that hat on my head....until now! That's right I finally bought this wardrobe staple *hurrrrah* Bowler hats are a quirky trend that give an indie edge to any outfit. The traditional bowler hat has that Charlie Chaplin round bowler head. As I have a rather large head, any time I tried one on I immediately took it off again. Thanks to Topshop my problem has been solved. The correct name is a Pork Pie hat, It is just more squared on the crown. Grab it here. This is a great version, even if the original style doesn't suit you. You can find the bowler version here. Who else loves this trendy hat?!

Firstly I have been neglecting my blog a lot lately. However it was for a good reason.....news of that very, very soon!!!

This weather and cold is getting my skin down. When I say down I mean it is now almost translucent.....whitegirlproblems! Take a moment to grieve our long lost summer tans!! With the sun no where to be found and my summer glow a distant memory. Fear not, I have found a saviour thanks to one of my best friends....shout out to my sista from another mistta Lolly :) Laura Mercier's Body Bronzing is probably the best body bronzer out there for any skin tone. This is a hero in a bottle gals!! It gives you just enough bronze and glow without ruining you clothes; and it smells amazing almond coconut milk heaven. The price tag is the only downfall at €47.....but it's worth it. To get the most out of it and less of a bronze I add Soap and Glory's Glow Lotion to the mix also. These two blend like a dream. Who wouldn't want instant radiant, bronzed skin- without the long term commitment?! I'm hooked :)
